Next to the door, a buzzer. I walked down the hallway and nervously pushed the button. I was semi-surprised when the door activated and I was let inside. Once inside, I found myself in a really cozy neighborhood dive bar. I can't remember if it had a pool table but I remember video poker like machines and other similar bar games. The bartender and the regulars were really friendly. A nice, down-home hangout.

They also have live bands in the summer, dinner nights and this place is welcoming to anyone. If you need a low key spot to get a drink or hanging with the locals this is your spot.

The atmosphere and display within the bar is awesome. The employees, owners, and regular drinkers were best of the best. There's a zero chance you come here and don't have a 10/10 experience. Would recommend this place to everyone and everyone.

The co-owner was also my server and she patiently answered all my questions and was very warm and friendly. I ordered the fried catfish platter with gouda mac n cheese and the pork spaghetti and I have zero regrets. The fried catfish was excellent, but I was most impressed with my sides. The gouda mac and cheese was indulgent and kicking with flavor while the pork spaghetti was satisfying and hearty. The prices were fair and the service was amazing. I will be visiting Donnell's again and I'm excited to try more menu items.

This is not my first time at Donnell's. I absolutely love the food! The staff have been friendly…read morethe two times I've dined in and the one time I've gotten a to go order. On this particular visit (7/5/25), around 5:30p, there was only one waitress at the time but she was holding it down. It wasn't extremely crowded and it didn't take long to get our food. Food: I had the fish and chips with green beans and fried. My friend had the shrimp etouffee w/ catfish strips. We shared the soul wraps. The portions were great for the price. Fish fresh and crispy. The soul wraps were different but good. We weren't huge fans of the sweet potato dipping sauce but the wrap itself was good. We wanted to try it out and see how it would be! Drinks ordered: Hurricane and Hawaiian Punch. Both pretty good. 10/10 recommend Donnell's! Plus, support #BlackOwnedBusinesses

The owner Logan is hands on and extremely friendly and welcoming. Great bartending showmanship and top-notch customer service skills. Hooray. The decor is old school with dark lighting. A large bar, a small stage area, 2 booths and a couple more tables for seating. A pool table and a large backyard patio area with a fire pit and a secondary bar for those busy summer weekends. DJ Bazooka Joe was spinning his collection of 45's from Rock and R&B's early days and kept the vibe hopping. I couldn't think of a better musical selection and DJ to keep everyone entertained. The regulars that I interacted with were as friendly as the owner. This will be my first stop and probably last stop on my next trip back to Strawberry Hill for some libations. As good as it gets.

I went to the Coach Lite about 2 weeks ago to see my friends' band play for their CD release party…read more I understand they only held the show here because it's their "birth place." This is the first bar they started playing in and the became part of this odd family there... and an odd family, it is! This little hole in the wall is strange. It's difficult to navigate because of how small it is. There are literally 4 tables to seat in here, and not a lot of standing room. I'm not sure if it was really dirty in there, or if the wood paneling and low lighting gives the illusion of dirt. The drinks were cheap, but limited. They only have like Budlight and Miller High Life class of beers... but on that note, they don't have PBR... which was surprising to me, since it seems to be a Kansas City epidemic of sorts. They do however sell giant cans of Monster for 3 bucks! Cheaper than QT! :) And if things couldn't get weirder... they did. There is no stage, so the band was literally playing in the arcade section of the bar. The lack of space didn't stop two completely wasted girls from dancing wildly and knocking things over, including themselves and band equipment. Maybe going back on a normal night, no event, less people, etc... maybe then, I could change my mind about this place. But as of right now, I don't have much intention on returning. If you're looking for a small backwoods, midwest American bar, this is the place for you.

Well another group of ppl were hangin out with us since we're cool, an started to play music as well. By almost the end of the night neither one of us heard most of the songs we played so we complained about it. After our party was upset over the situation we left. While outside socializing a chic heard my homegirl say "bitch" an thought we called her one when in reality she was sayn "ain't that a bitch" but the chic was super drunk an heard it wrong. Anyways she went inside an told the bartender (who I guess no her) an he came outside rite as we were twinkling but remind you, there's only two bathrooms in the place that were full an we definitely wasn't gonna pee on our nice clothes, beside the fact we didn't wanna go back in after that incident...he asked us to leave an said we cnt ever come back ..my homies started talkn slick to him sayn they wnt ever be back ..we left and I'm thinkin all is cool so I went back a few wks later only to be told I cnt come back in becuz I was bein disrespectful, like really?? That definitely wasn't fair considerin I took pics on Halloween wit the same bartender guy who said that an he was cool wit my then, not to mention we spent alot of money there, so I felt offended. I ended up leavin an found a better bar up the st called Dewey's in which I no the owner, that's wat better, and dnt jus except 'cash only', it also has a live DJ who plays real good music so we dnt need to spend ours for songs we didn't even get to hear! So I'm not really upset about him sayn I can't come there anymore becuz it's their LOSS!!!
